Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book commemorates the dedication of a statue eulogizing statesman Daniel Webster, delivered in 1853 by Edward Everett. The author praises Webster's eloquence, arguing it incited change and inspired the nation. The author positions Webster within a broader 19th-century American political context, addressing key issues of his time, which included debates on foreign policy, particularly in relation to Britain and France; internal improvements such as canals and infrastructure; and the explosive domestic debate over slavery. The author further argues that Webster's strength lay in his ability to rise above the partisan politics of the day, which often limited the effectiveness of other politicians. Ultimately, this book offers a rich exploration of one of America's most important political figures and a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of the time.
